At the beginning of the year, I set myself a number of goals related to my writing. One of which was to write something I was pleased enough with to link to it on my blog. I think I may have just done that wholly by accident. If you haven't yet finished Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, look away! This is a short scene that follows immediately from the main action of the book, before the epilogue. It's not something I would ever have chosen to write about but I lost a bet on the identity of one of the horcruxes and this was the payment. I didn't enjoy writing this at all but I'm pleased that I did and I'm pleased with the result. I'd love to know what you think!

Thank you!

Mimicking other people's styles is much easier than developing my own. -

Maybe. But I hope you're not going to stop with mimicry.
Ros, we think this is wonderful. You're a very gifted writer. You've captured JKR's style nicely, and given Kingsley real depth. Following on from Deathly Hallows, it felt like a natural fit. And it's great to see that horrid statue destroyed. Seriously impressed.
